PLEASE NOTE THAT WE’VE HAD TO POSTPONE OUR MANDELA DAY

PROJECT UNTIL SUMMER DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER

MAKEOVERS

( this includes teambuildings)

Facilitating the renovations ( EXTREME MAKEOVERS) and maintenance of children’s homes; foster family accommodation, safe house’s and Early Childhood Development Centres with the help of corporate sponsors.

This is exeptionaly important as these homes are often neglected and children end up living in very poor conditions. We try and ensure that they feel happy and proud going to their home, whether its an orphanage, safe house etc.

AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS & SUPPORT

Newkidz host awareness campaigns throughout the year, including but not limited to; soup kitchens at underprivelaged schools, fun days for orphaned and vulnerable children and the list goes on.

You can get involved by supporting our cause in your work place, church, school etc. Contact us to see how you can help the plight of orphaned and vulnerable children!

DONATIONS

“SECONDS COUNT” – our second hand shop, run from our factory in Brackenfell. We collect donations in kind at the warehouse and then distribute the donations to safe homes, childrens homes and places of safety. Things that cannot be used at a makeover, can then be sold to generate funds for the sustainability of our organisation.

You can get involved by donating any clothing, shoes etc of any age, male or female!! Brick a brac ( cutlery, crockery, ornaments etc), furniture – practically anything that is in good condition ( gently used) that can either be used or sold at our shop.

A great day all round. Thank you again to you and your team for a well organized day.

It pleases us, beyond words, to associate with a worthy cause as well as to be (in our small way) part of a team who GO THE DISTANCE. Very little “talk”, lots of “do”!
